Overview
On the east bank of the Vistula, Praga is the only Warsaw district that survived WWII largely intact, preserving pre-war building façades. Once considered rough, it has reinvented itself as the city's trendiest area with street-art-covered walls, independent galleries, and cafes and bars in converted factories. The Neon Museum displays a collection of communist-era neon signs, and Soho Factory hosts contemporary art exhibitions. The streets themselves are an open-air gallery. Take Metro M2 to Dworzec Wileński station.
Opening Hours
Open 24 hours (Neon Museum: 12:00-18:00, closed Mondays)
Travel Tips
The Neon Museum is a unique photo spot. Evening bar-hopping along Ząbkowska Street is popular, and weekend flea markets are a bonus.
